Since Socrates, questioning has been a critical tool for teaching and learning. This active session investigates the role of questioning by diverse students and teachers to develop mathematical creativity and giftedness. Heuristic techniques and activities are built on fifty years of research on questioning, problem posing, and proven curricula for mathematically promising students and can be applied across a wide range of settings.
Learning Objectives:
Cite research on the use of an open heuristic and questioning techniques with advanced mathematics students, including compatibility with Florida’s B.E.S.T. Standards for Mathematical Thinking and Reasoning
Apply questioning techniques and strategies that will enhance and develop mathematical promise in a diverse group of students
Identify, assess, and utilize curricular resources that optimize the use of questioning for the development of mathematical expertise, enjoyment, and engagement
